The Legend Awakens
The legend of the Pilatus awakens.
On 21 November 2026, the Pilatus Arena Kriens transforms into a stage of light, sound and adrenaline – the biggest combat-sports spectacle Switzerland has ever seen.
A night full of emotion.
A night full of adrenaline.
A night full of legends.
What it's about
World-class combat sport, Swiss roots, Las Vegas production.
International elite athletes face off in Central Switzerland's most modern indoor arena. Thundering beats, choreographed fighter walks, a light show and live cameras turn every round into an experience – ringside and on the big screen.
No excuses. No mercy. Just three disciplines, one ring and the will to become a legend in front of thousands of spectators at the Pilatus Arena.
Behind the scenes
From the Swiss scene to the Pilatus Arena.
The organiser is Fighting Sports Entertainment GmbH. The company was founded in December 2017 in Horw and specialises in organising combat-sports events and in trading sporting goods. The sporting partner is the Thai-Kickbox Center Luzern (TKBC) – with schools in Horw, Ebikon, Sursee, Hochdorf and Stans, one of the largest Swiss host associations for Muay Thai and kickboxing.
Out of this combination came the Fightnights, which in recent years have brought Swiss top athletes into the ring alongside international opponents. What began as a hall event grew into an event that, with the Pilatus Arena, finds a setting that meets international standards for the first time.
